You somehow think that means that when Israel commits a genocide on Palestinians, that it retains a right to rule over them and continue to subjugate and oppress them, it doesn't#

You’re not making a valid point, your entirely missing the point.
The point is, the Muslim conspiracy against Israel since Oct 7th. IE: Gaza is entirety an active war zone. It isn’t Israel preventing the exodus of Palestinians from Gaza, it’s a combined blockade by Muslims themselves, (Inclusive of the compliant Palestinians, making a sacrificial cow of themselves for good effect), which prevents the free movement of Palestinians out of the war zone!

There is no deliberate genocide by Israel, under these circumstances. It’s what you call a very effective “set~up”; a very effective propaganda tool too, which has allowed those of smaller minds, to increase the shrill of Antisemitism world wide.

You want me to believe the pro-Israeli narrative about Israeli atrocities.

You bomb the shite out of hundreds of thousands of women and kids, and then you say, 'Oh it's propaganda, a very effective set up', like I can't see parts of Gaza completely flattened and didn't watched it happen.
It's you that's delusional and in denial.

You didn't see any of that stuff, because you don't want to see any of that stuff because it would challenge your belief in Israels righteousness. I have Christians in my family I know how you lot think. Denial.

Those Muslim countries are western vassal states.
Israel has done nothing but destroy it's own economy.
I see they are preparing for a ground invasion of Lebanon.
Don't think Hezbollah are destroyed, they're not.

"to increase the shrill of Antisemitism world wide"
- I dgf about Jews trying to make sense of the world around them and point the finger at everything with their sense of entitlement.

Their argument is you unfairly pick on us you don't criticise others the same.
They are the people who claim sole holocaust victimhood, and are actually conducting another holocaust.
They deserve all the criticism they get.
I don't care about their petty mind games, that the rest of you fall for.
And I don't care about you stupid genocide-loving blinkers-on Christians that enable them.

There isn't any bs story you can come up with to turn the argument around when you slaughter women kids and babies, but you forgiving Christians will find one, while you're supporting their murder of others.

You Christians would make Jesus vomit.

Palestinians don't want to leave.
'It's the Muslim countries that won't let them leave Israel is trying really hard to bomb and starve them, it's the Muslims fault.'

What is this?

Judeo-Christian brain-farts?
What are you, a low level moron?
'imbecile' would make you sound more intelligent than you are.

The war didn't start on October 7 and Palestinians have every right to attack their oppressors under occupation and international law.
I have no problem with Palestinians killing IDF on October 7, that's Israel reaping what it's sowed,
I do have an issue with the killing of innocents just as I do with Israels actions every day since October 7, and the stuff they've been doing to escalate conflict long before it.

What's Israels position.
The Palestinian are all terrorists, even babies and their politicians openly state it, yet I am attacked for what I say?.
If that's their mentality, then I don't really care that much about their innocents dying either, but I won't support terrorism.

I dgf about your biblical Christian narrative, millions of non-Christians see through your teenage-groupie loyalty and dgf about it either.

It's people like yourselves who are delusional and in denial.

According to Dr Andreas Umland from the Stockholm Centre for Eastern European Studies, the Russian war crimnal, Putin, is willing to “stomach enormous losses” just to wave something vaguely resembling a victory flag.

“The enormous pressure in Pokrovsk,” Umland noted, “is likely tied to the feeling in Moscow that time is running out.”

Men, metal and money are being thrown into the mud in hopes of producing a miracle headline for the evening news.

Even then, endless state propaganda cannot balance the books.

The Russian economy has already been coughing from years of sanctions. It is now on life support. The government has spent $15 billion more than it earned in the first ten months of this year.

Umland compared the situation to a nation fighting its own shadow.

“The Russian economy is now built almost entirely around the war,” he said. “Factories are producing for the front, not for the future.”

Steady economic war by Ukraine has achieved what Western sanctions alone could not.

The Kremlin’s last dependable friend India appears to have quietly slipped out of the back door. Reports suggest that New Delhi’s five largest refineries have stopped ordering Russian oil from December onwards.

Pressed on whether economic collapse could push Putin to seek peace, Umland said there will come a point when even the Kremlin’s spin machine can’t repaint defeat as “strategic patience.”

“There will be a point when the old thug simply cannot continue,” he said.

“This offensive might be a desperate attempt to grab something, anything, to parade as a win.”

Then they will lose the war but declare victory anyway. In Kremlin records the battle for Kyiv in 2022 was recorded as a "victory".

Umland also poured cold water on claims that sanctions on Russia might hurt Western economies.

Andreas Umland looks like he's been on Ukraines payroll for the better part of the last 20 years of his life.

“The enormous pressure in Pokrovsk,” Umland noted, “is likely tied to the feeling in Moscow that time is running out.”

Time is running out for Ukraine.
You lose Pokrovsk, and you're entire defensive line begins to collapse and soon Russians will be in Petrograd, as for time, Ukraine can't even keep the lights on.

15 bln? China would just write Russia a cheque.
Did you miss the part where China said they won't let Russia lose.
Maybe the Ukrainians think they can beat China too?
Russia added 450 tonnes of gold this year, I'm sure they will make up the 15 bln. You talk about sanctions like they are a bad thing.
Russians are thanking the West for sanctions, they have forced Russia to build up its own industries and stop relying on the West, also Russian wages are higher than ever, oil only accounts for 15% of the Russian economy.

You don't have the weapons and manpower to keep this losing war of yours going indefinitely.
Russia do and the West is kicking an own goal.
Everything you say is projection.
Compare Russian economy to Europe. 0.3% UK 0.1% Germany

You say Russia isn't producing anything for the future.
You think the US does when it's jobs are tied to the military manufacturing.
It produces jobs, and food on the table.
What's unemployment rate in UK and Germany?
They will not be able to contribute to manpower or sustain you with military manufacturing, it's not enough.

You are playing chess and you already know that 7 moves ahead you are going to lose and the game is unwinnable.
Keep throwing your own people into the meat grinder if you must.
Eventually you'll have to face reality.

Fight to the last Ukrainian!

Dear Mr Armchair (& the Diver called Dan!),

Russia today is far from the strong, stable power that pro-Kremlin voices like to present. In reality, the country is grappling with deep economic, military, and social problems that raise serious questions about the durability of Putin’s regime. The economy survives largely on oil and gas revenue, but sanctions, shrinking markets, and technological isolation are steadily eroding its foundations. Russia now struggles to replace advanced components for industry and defence, while inflation, workforce shortages, and the exodus of hundreds of thousands of skilled citizens have weakened its long-term prospects.

Socially, the situation is no better. Russia faces one of the world’s fastest-declining populations, growing poverty, and widening inequality. The ongoing war has brought home both casualties and disillusionment. Public frustration is real, even if the state suppresses open dissent. The Kremlin’s traditional bargain - “stay out of politics and we’ll provide stability” - is fraying.

Militarily, the war in Ukraine has exposed enormous weaknesses. Despite massive spending, Russia has failed to achieve decisive success. Heavy losses in equipment and personnel, corruption in procurement, and chronic logistical failures undermine the image of a modern, competent fighting force.

Politically, the regime is increasingly brittle. Factional infighting, purges of generals, and the dependence on private armies and regional strongmen highlight how fragile the system has become. Putin’s authority rests on projecting control and victory; prolonged economic contraction and military stalemate threaten both.

Far from being a rising power, Russia is a state under immense strain—one whose long-term stability is far from guaranteed, despite loud claims to the contrary. Ukraine, on the other hand, continues to surprise, and with European support will prevail.
